<li>If nothing else, the Gator Bowl will feature <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/76734/gator-bowl-matchup-gurley-vs-abdullah">two good running backs</a>.</li>
<li>And with eleven tackles against the Cornhuskers, <a href="http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/dec/20/wilsons-rapid-rise-leads-to-all-sec-honors/?sportscollege" target="_blank">Ramik Wilson</a> would surpass Thomas Davis (138 in 2003) for the Bulldogs&#8217; most in the Mark Richt era.</li>
<li>Why do I have the feeling that one day we&#8217;re going to look back at the 2013 season and wonder what all <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/24379736/afca-releases-2013-allamerican-team-mccarron-1stteam-qb" target="_blank">the A.J. McCarron hype</a> was about?</li>
<li><a href="http://patrickgarbin.blogspot.com/2013/12/clash-of-d-coordinators.html" target="_blank">Patrick Garbin</a> compares Martinez and Grantham and declares a plague upon both their houses.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.barkingcarnival.com/2013/12/20/5225444/finding-a-coach-by-the-numbers-part-iii" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s</a> a statistical approach to finding a replacement for Mack Brown.  Good luck with that.</li>
<li><a href="http://dogbytesonline.com/theus-on-14-season-i-really-need-to-step-it-up-79684/" target="_blank">John Theus</a>, speaking the obvious:  <em>“I really need to step it up and hopefully I can get good offseason work in.”</em></li>
<li><a href="http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/12/vanderbilt_and_ed_obannon_plai.html" target="_blank">Chase Garnham</a> was sufficiently convinced that Vanderbilt wouldn&#8217;t let him play unless he signed a consent form giving the school permission to use his name, image and likeness, that under advice of counsel he signed it <em>&#8220;with a note at the bottom of the form expressing my understanding that I had to sign the form in order to play, not just to be eligible.&#8221;  </em>Amateurism, you&#8217;re the best.</li>
<li>If next year&#8217;s offensive backfield is too crowded, <a href="http://www.macon.com/2013/12/18/2839383/this-and-that-jj-green-open-to.html" target="_blank">J.J. Green</a> is more than willing to take his 5&#8217;9&#8243; talent to cornerback.</li>
<li>Is <a href="https://twitter.com/Sicemdawgscom/status/413833225132580864" target="_blank">Christian LeMay</a> gone?</li>
